Hello everyone! New here and trying to figure out this email stuff.

ValKellogg

I’m new too. Have been on WW for many years. Successful in earlier years but trying to stay on a plan has been my problem. Lacking motivation and support. My doctor and a friend recommended MFP so thought I’d give it a whirl. Thank you.

jodiejeworski

Hello all! Relatively new to MFP, but really enjoy fitness and nutrition. Ready to take on 2019 with a scaled up running plan, and commitment to enhance my healthy eating. Happy New Year and all the best in 2019!

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda and iv had this app for a while. I decided to post for accountability. I've really lost all motivation and I'm trying to get back on track. Here is to the New Year and healthy changes!

Rosh2801

Hello all, I'm new here though I've had this app for quite some time now. I'm starting the Whole 30 to get some health & weight issues sorted. I hope I'm able to get some positive results. Looking for some motivation.

ctiaaxo

I am new to this and if there is anybody who could help me navigate through this it would be greatly appreciated thank you so much

vetvicki

Today is my first day, this tracking is all very new to me but I'm loving the community advice and information!

gotogogirl1

Hi everyone. I’m excited to be here. Have used the app in the past but never joined the community. Looking for inspiration and accountability as I continue on my health journey.

gmcruz33

Good morning! So they say New year New you! I’m new here and already loving this app. I’m excited to see just how motivated and goal orientated I can be towards my weight loss journey. Hoping we all meet our goals and maintain!! Here’s to a healthier me!

MrSpacek

It looks like there is more to this app than just tracking calories. I hope there is at least one group out there that is fun, not easily offended and willing to help each other achieve our goals. Let me know if anyone has a group like that. Otherwise, I hope you all find the determination it takes to make a healthy life style a habit. This will not be easy, but it will be worth it.

Happy New Year fitness folks! Looking to shed about 40lbs of lard.

cygnet2

Happy New Year to all! My name is Christiane and I'm starting over! Not just with food and fitness, but life in general. I got married in September to my HS boyfriend and I'm determined to shed a few pounds before we go to Maui in March for my birthday. Wishing all of you the best on your weight loss journey!

DaisyA1987

Happy New Year All. We know why we here...those awful pounds gained during the festivities but also, those pounds from the 2018 resolution that never came off and that you gained. I am here, trying, that's all I can say! I am overweight at the big 235, I was 215 5 months ago, my metabolism is slow, I have 2 small children and work all day in a slow pace environment. I don't want to spend my free time in the gym and miss the precious years by their side but I also cannot afford to go to the stores and not find cute clothes or not feeling sexy at all for my husband but primarily not feeling sexy on my skin.trying counts! #staypositive #damnpounds

Happy New Year! Ready to lose 20 pounds in 2019! I don’t eat meat, so am looking for ideas for healthy protein (shrimp, fish, eggs, etc.). I know I need to cut carbs. Luckily, I love veggies!

drewmsu9364

Hi all! I’m new. Looking to reduce body fat to 20% or less. Harder to do in my 50’s... but I’m giving it a shot!

Megan_smartiepants1970

I am not new...I have been on and off this site since 09...I am a yo yo dieter and I get frustrated and delete my account...2019 will be the year I make it to my goal and KEEP IT OFF....Wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR...wishing everyone much success on their journey ....feel free to add me

StaminaX5

Butterfly Bren you don't necessarily have to cut carbs just get rid of refined ones and go into a calorie deficit but I understand why you would want to cut carbs as it lowers your appetite but eating fiber revs up metabolism.for me I can't do low carb it gives me headaches so i just eat plant based with some meat.but each individual is different.

Happy new year everyone ! This needs to be the year I lose the weight 5 kids down my weight goes up and down all the time but this is my year joined a gym with a year contract we can do this 💪🏻

shannonmrsfutrell30

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm new and just saying "Hello"!

g2renew

Looking to drop about 40 lbs. I would be happy with 30 and ecstatic with 50, so I will split the difference:-). I am 58 and newly diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Mild walking is the only exercise encouraged so I am looking to monitor my nutrient level and calorie intake to help me reach my goal. This seems like a fun system to use for tracking. Happy New Year and Best wishes to us all!!!

Phillipla1987

Hello, all ☺️ I'm new. Heard about this app forever and I finally decided to download it now. My current goal is to learn how to use this complex app to track my macros lol 😁

Good morning everyone and happy New Year. I'm back after a 6 month hiatus.

prosperouswoman44

Hello all. I first joined My Fitness Pal in 2017 but I have not consistently been on here. I have 80+ pounds to release. I have seen success before and backtracked many, many times. The process of shifting my mindset from diet to lifestyle has been a challenge, to say the least. This is my first post and I'm looking forward to interacting with you all on here. Happy New Year!

takemybody

New to the app. But been lifting 20+ years. Ex British army then came to the USA to work for a private military contractor. The gym is one of my outlets. Was always taught exercise is the number 1 anti depressant ever created!

ktsherman77

Happy New Year everyone. I was using MFP back in 2012 and lost about 60 pounds, unfortunately I let it all go, gained it back and then some. So here I am again to tooooootally redeem myself and get this under wraps. Good luck to everyone trying to lose or maintain. I'm just starting over so feel free to add/friend me, however this works and I will return the sentiments.
